Journal Shadow Wrought's Journal: Yogi in 3D 16
Saw the trailer during the game. I kept waiting for it to be some parody for some other product. Axe, Old SPice, Budweiser, Lexus: anything.
Alas, no. It is a live action 3D with CGI Yogi and Boo-Boo.
It really is.

I bet that right there will be some high-quality cinema. Suppose it'll win at Cannes?!

I mean, you see it and think, "This is a joke, right? RIGHT?" And then, it's just not. The premise alluded to in the trailer was that Jellystone needed visitors, so Yogi, and I wish to any and all of the Gods that I was making this up, appears to do water-skiing tricks to bring in the tourists.
So, the answer to the question, what could be worse than a 3D Live Action/CGI Yogi is actually, the version of it that they're making! I mean, was there any real plo

I know exactly where you are coming from - but as the parent of 3 who thought that "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel" was incredibly awesome - there is an audience for this film. My kids are smack dab in the middle of it.

My apologies. I too have watched many a movie while rolling my eyes and trying to not ruin it for everyone else. It is a tough walk. Just make sure to remember it so you can give it to your Grandkids someday!

Our kids don't go to the theater often. When they do it is usually with other kids and it's a mom's get together thing. But something like this - if I do end up watching it, it will be on Netflix a while from now.
I usually only join in on the movie theater trips for kids movies if they look at least half decent.

I saw the trailer; holy hell it looks awful. A veritable crapfest, in 3D even!

I'm still thinking about that mid-life career change, and animation is definitely on the table. Then I see something like this and think, "Holy hell, whatif that's my job!" Of then I remember I work in the legal now now anyway.
I've done worse.

If you are still into making games, there are plenty of possibilities there too :-) Plus you don't have to quit your day job.

I have heard that many times about things (typically Star Wars), but that's not actually what my rant was about. Yogi was a short, funny cartoon. I enjoyed it as a kid, but wouldn't watch it again. So investing the budget into a live-action, 3D, CGI version of it just feels like a waste. There are new ideas, thoughts, and stories to tell, but we get this instead. I'm not against it for any reason oth
